Preservation of dendritic D2 receptor transmission in substantia nigra dopamine neurons with age
Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopamine neurons are required for voluntary movement and reward learning, and advanced age is associated with motor and cognitive decline.

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

Spatial Frequency Selectivity Is Impaired in Dopamine D2 Receptor Knockout Mice
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter implicated in several brain functions, including vision. In the present study, we investigated the impacts of the lack of D2 dopamine receptors on the structure and function of the primary visual cortex (V1) of D2-KO mice ...

Acute and Chronic Local Field Potential Recordings in Dystonia—A Systematic Review
Abstract Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of distributed network dysfunction involving the basal ganglia, cortex and cerebellum. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes provide a unique opportunity to characterize the electrophysiological signatures ...

D2-like dopamine receptors mediate the response to amphetamine in a mouse model of ADHD
The mechanisms underlying the effects of psychostimulants in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are not well understood, but indirect evidence implicates D2 dopamine receptors. Here we dissect the components of dopaminergic neurotransmission

Abstract Background Previous studies on calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk reached conflicting conclusions. Objectives We examined the relationship between CCBs and PD in the E3N cohort of French women followed for 15 years (2004–2018), while taking into account the potential for reverse causation.

Background The striatal complex is the major target of dopamine action in the CNS. There, medium-spiny GABAergic neurons, which constitute about 95% of the neurons in the area, form a mutually inhibitory synaptic network that is modulated by dopamine ...

Distinct Brain Drivers and Shared Cerebello–Cortical Input in ADCY5 and SGCE Hyperkinetic Movements
Resting‐state fMRI and effective connectivity revealed distinct cerebellar–basal ganglia–cortical interactions in ADCY5 (MxMD‐ADCY5) and SGCE (MYC/DYT‐SGCE) related movement disorders. The cerebellum modulated cortex directly in MYC/DYT‐SGCE, but indirectly via basal ganglia‐cerebellar projections in MxMD‐ADCY5, which also showed reduced subthalamic ...

We conducted PET imaging with [18F]FDOPA and dopamine D2/3 receptor ligand [18F]fallypride in aged transgenic rats carrying human pathogenic LRRK2 R1441C or G2019S mutations.

Dichotomous Dopaminergic Control of Ventral Pallidum Neurons
The ventral pallidum (VP) is crucially involved in reward processing. Dopaminergic afferents reach the VP from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Recent in vivo studies suggest dopamine application increase the firing in the VP.
